Short, fat & bald

I'm really happy to have hit 20,000 total visits on 22nd April 2010 - less than two years after I joined Flickr. The breakdown is: Photos 16,300 (81.5%), Photostream 3,100 (15.5%), Sets 600 (3%).

Absolutely delighted to have now reached 30,000 total visits on 1st August 2010 - just over two years after joining. I'm amazed to have added 10,000 in only 3 and a bit months - averaging 100 visits per day! The breakdown at 30k is Photos 24,676 (82.2%), Photostream 4,411 (14.7%), Sets 910 (3%) and Collection 5.

Delighted to hit 40k total visits on 29th September 2010. This 10k came in 60 days at an average of 166 per day, which I think was due to some special summer circumstances and thus not repeatable, but we'll see! I'm going to keep recording these stats to track progress:
Photos 33,439 (83.6%), Photostream 5,471 (13.7%), Sets 1,087 (3%), Collections 10.

50,000 total visits came up on 10th January 2011 - a bit of a slowdown, but I've not been posting so much stuff, so that's understandable. Photos 42,300 (84.6%), Photostream 6,400 (12.8%), Sets 1,250 (2.5%), Collections 15.

60,000 total visits came on 27th April when I was on holiday so I missed it. Over 3 months for this 10k, but hardly posted anything, so understandable. The holiday snaps might quicken things up a bit now. Photos 51,820 (85.9%), Photostream 7,120 (11.8%), Sets 1,403 (2.3%), Collections 18 - so the balance is moving towards individual photos and mainly away from the Photostream.

70,000 total visits reached on 22nd July 2011. Just under 3 months for this 10k, partly due to minimal amounts of posting until the end when I had the RIAT 2011 shots that gave me a significant boost. Photos 60,541 (86.5%), Photostream 7,901 (11.3%), Sets 1,541 (2.2%) and Collections 18. The balance moves further towards individual photos with Photostream and Sets losing out pretty much proportionally.

80,000 visits hit on 14th October, again just under 3 months for 10k. Photos 69369 (86.7%), Photostream 8777 (11%), Sets 1845 (2.3%)and Collections 18. Again individual photos lead the way with Photostream being aroud 245 visits lower than last time's percentage would have indicated, although the increase in percentage being photos has only crept ahead compared with previous increases, so maybe this is becoming the "natural" split after me having a high proportion of photostream visits early in my Flickr "career" for some reason.

90,000 visits on 7th January 2012! This is just under 3 months or 10k again despite few uploads, so I'm pretty happy with that. Photos 78,514 (87.2%), Photostream 9,377 (10.4%), Sets 2,090 (2.3%, Collections 22. Photos again increasing their propostion of visits at the expense of Photostreams.

    "allan has some great photos - i love his puffin shots. they are all unaltered and natural, no large amounts of photoshop and saturation being added here! more than that, allan makes a good flickr friend because he is insightful and helpful in giving advise/feedback to others.
